Advantages of Using Follow NFS Mounts

Following NFS mounts eliminates the need to locate and log on to the systems where the files actually reside. If the files are mounted on the NetBackup client, you can back up, archive, and restore them by working from the NetBackup client, providing you have the necessary permissions on the NFS mount. One use for this capability is to back up systems that are not supported by NetBackup client software.
